When high school English teacher Elena Vera begins experiencing terrifying hallucinations and recurring nightmares of a demonic elderly woman, she fears she’s losing her grip on reality.
But after a horrifying incident at school leads to her forced medical leave, Elena discovers something far more sinister is at work. With the help of her best friend Carrie and student Maria, Elena uncovers a generations-old curse that has plagued her family. The demonic entity known as la vieja malvada—the evil old woman—has returned to claim Elena’s soul.
As the supernatural attacks escalate, Elena’s only hope lies in an excommunicated priest named Tomas.
Racing against time as the entity’s power grows stronger, Elena and her unlikely allies must confront both personal fears and an ancient evil in a desperate battle for her very soul. But even as divine intervention offers a chance at salvation, a chilling epilogue suggests that some evils can never truly be banished.
